Life is multi-tasking: What the world needs now is Love sweet Love, yes that is true but the world is in desperate need discernment of being able to see what is real and what is unreal, this takes a level of mental grinding and distilling both intellect and intuition.

We reach mastery when we enter the area of our lives that we are weak in. Instead of saying I am not good at that, I don’t like or I don’t want, go to that place of resistance and refine that area breaking all your barriers.

​Green is the colour of Mercury today with all the new green growth it is a good day to be in nature and breath in the energy of the fresh new green leaves and run it through your body, a qigong (energy) technique of rejuvenation. Mercury rules the nerves and nervous system be gentle and keep calm.Today is a full moon in Libra in the Nakshatra (birth star) of Vishakha.

During a full moon we will feel deeply more than usual, your likes and dislikes will be in your face. Vishikha likes to win and is the symbol of a triumphant arch way. The diety is Indra-Agni, Indra the king of Gods a warrior with a thunder bolt and Agni is fire the powers of heat and lightening. It may be an interesting intense mix of heated emotions.

The moon here makes for a bright person.Be inner when there is a full moon always hear the call to go inside. Mercury and Moon had a complicated relationship, the moon is the father of mercury but he seduced Jupiters wife Tara. The moon likes his son but the son does not really like his father, this is father and son family drama and a complicated family history. Mercury is dual in his nature, he is a communicator and good at business. Today we have the full Moon on Mercury’s Day. In Vishikha ruled by an energetic Indra - Agni, win and fire.

Find a green tree and spend some time today. When the moon comes out bask in the moonlight it is good for Rasayana (juice and rejuvenation of your body).

I never intended to write more than a few words, lol I am in a Mercury sub period.

Today is Tuesday Jai Hanumanji. Tuesday is ruled by Mars the great warrior, commander and chief. Today is a good day to be active, increase your energy and perhaps learn or practice martial arts. Mars is red and passionate. He can be angry, he needs to be balanced, it takes a lifetime to manage strong passionate raw energy distilling it into a wisdom based go with the flow.

Learning the art "push and pull" will help create a balance between passion over reactions. Passion is great it is passion without discernment that creates over-reaction and that is why Tuesday leads into Buddhi discernment Wednesday's (more on that tomorrow). Take a breath or few do pranayama as Hanuman is the son of the wind God, it is a good day to learn to play with (prana) energy and balance yin (female) Shakti & yang (male) Shiva, balancing our energy creating a flow.

If the cruelness of Martian energy is too much turning your mind towards the cooling effect of devotion can cool any overheated heart. We are devoting ourselves to something in every moment we just have to know where that energy is flowing? Hanumanji is a symbol of Devotion to Ram and Sita, he has great energy and power, he is martian energy balance this energy of Mars by devoting to the soft heart of devotion.

It is Election Day here in British Columbia, who will win the Female leader or the Male leader, it is sure to be a passionate election. This passionate election has lead into a Wednesday of the dual Mercury. We are not here or not there, (not this and not that). (Update, Christy Clark (female) the Premier has 43 votes, The male John Horgan has 41 seats, and 3 go to Andrew Weaver of the Green Party. Minority government with no absolute decided definite winner, absentee ballots still need counting. Hasn't happened since the 1950's.

Mars is in Taurus right now ruled by Venus (an added passion combination), with a 4th aspect onto Rahu (can be confusion), and an 8th aspect on, oh oh, the retrograde Shani Maharaj (the great rectifier of past karma's) who is in a karmic knot (gandanta) point sitting in the (Kali, Niritti) Nakshatra Mula digging deeper and deeper into our knots of karma rooting out that which is deep in the inner unconscious, the places and spaces long forgotten. Lord Shani goes to those places to show us just in case we have forgotten because for some reason he never forgets.

Time (kala) may rule us here on earth but Love wins. (a Babu Kishan saying).

​This knot can only soften when we learn to balance between the 'push and pull', if we pull too hard we tighten the knot and fall backward, if we push forward with force we fall flat on our face tightening our karmic knot with anxiety. The more we relax the more our fibres of karma relax loosening the knot so we can slip through our karma with a little more grace and ease, with flexibility we rise.

Starting today I will post a little something about the Astrology of the day (short and sweet), along with my Photos of the day. No promises but I will try. :)

The Big Lord Shani Maharaj is retrograde rolling back making us review the Karma's we thought we had already dealt with. Been there done that, signed and sealed, now the review, delays or even perhaps the pressure of moving through to completion. It can be good or bad as with everything, take the high road, we do the best we can.

Here are my Photos of the day, "The Curious Eye by Trishula Das" The Big Lord Shani Maharaj is retrograde rolling back making us review the Karma's we thought we had all ready dealt with.

He is entering the karmic knot (gandanta) point between Sagittarius and Scorpio hmm a little intense anybody? Jupiter is Retrograde in Virgo making us look for the good in everything in case we forgot. Time to do a Liver cleanse perhaps.​

Moon is in Libra today in the Nakshatra of Chitra the bright one, the celestial architect. Build or design something new today using creative thinking. Venus the Lord of Libra is in a great place for creativity. If it sunny go and play outside, lay and the earth and feel the spring energies run through your body, let Bhumi (the Earth Mother) take and purify what does not serve you. Jai Ma!!

Heidi Rauhut 🙏🌺🙏👍👌👏 thanks for sharing Trishulaji. Today is Mangalvar - Tuesday - day of Lord Hanuman, who got the boon from Shani Deva - Lord Saturn - that he would protect the devotees of Hanuman. 🙏🌺🙏Jai Hanuman

Re... Re... Re ... Retrograde Jupiter, Retrograde Saturn and a Retrograde Mars early sunday April 17th adding a rewinding, review of just about everything Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are karaka's (significator's) for.

​Retrograde planets are always stronger for good or for ill depending on your personal karmic time and world situations. Time is the ruler.

They are helping us to clear up anything that was not clear the last go around of the area they have already covered in regular motion. They can act like a steam roller that has gone over you once but backs up to take another go over while saying did you understand the first time and we are just checking?

To add to this rewinding Mercury will go retrograde at the April 28th. These most certainly are interesting times it is not your imagination.

Pray, do mantra (mind tool) Qigong, hike, breath, connect with nature, stay calm, focus on what you want because you get what you focus on, walk, run, exercise and be silent when possible. As usual it could be a great time or not!

September 27 Lunar Eclipse and Happy Birthday to YOU BABUKISHAN Baul Gurusmile emoticon May this Birthday and Eclipse enlighten you heart emoticon

My perspective and experience of an eclipse. An eclipse is the activation and wild ride of Ma Kundilini it starts slowly and can catch one off guard she move around like a swirling invisible energy a mystic mystery that is very subtle. The left and right channels of energy that run along the spine activate and flow up the central channel the strength of the gravitional pull the moon has on the tides. These energy channels are also known as Shakti/Yin/Female energy for the left channel and Shiva/Yang/Male energy for the right channel.

The energy of Shakti and Shiva will funnel up together like a snake making love then flowing up the central channel like all colours of a rainbow focusing into one bright light washing cleaning and clearing the channel and going out through the top of the head bursting towards the heavens. This is a sacred blessing of openess in your body, mind and soul. For those on a path of transformation this is welcome and beautiful for those who do not understand it can bring up things that are to be pushed out, washed out, felt and let go of. To some this is an intense time a time of clearing and yet many others not understanding this time they may project their frustions or hurts onto others.

An eclipse is a sacred time a portal of time to advance to awaken Ma Shakti and this is why the ancient Yogi's have always said, do mantra sadhana during an eclipse to advance and advancing is liberating your karma and one must be strong and able to face what is released. A Yogi or Yogini knows that mantra, prayers, thought word deeds are a thousand or more times more powerful during the days before during and after an eclipse. ​This is the time to hunker down and focus inward because your thoughts words deeds during this particular time on the planet are so very important. Go into the cave of your heart of home and focus on what desires you would like to manifest, how you want to live in this world. This is a sacred time like no other. The Lunar Eclipse takes place on Sunday evening, however, start now, right now there is never anytime to waste and continue on forever because all time is sacred, all space is sacred and there is only NOW and where are you going after NOW!

There are many astrological karaka's and stories that go along with the eclipses this is a simplification on general affects of ecipses. To me it is alway eclipse time as I experience in a sweat lodge that we don't need to go into a sweat lodge we are always in a sweat lodge we just are not aware that we are either sitting in a sweat lodge foating through space or are sitting on planet earth hurtling through space like Horton of Horton hears a Who we live in Whosville whether we are aware of it or not, the eclipse is a portal to become aware all the Graha's grab you and are trying to pull you upwards. Jai Kundalini Ma I love you, thank you! Jai Maa Trishula Das

Those who aspire to own a house or property, should recite the above mantra 108 times with total faith and surrender to Vastu Purusha.

I thought the above interesting, I have no tired it, it takes a lot of effort, time and focus for any manifestation to take place. I am not recommending but I have copied and pasted for those who are so inclined. I make no claims or offer no advice as I have not done this mantra.

Dhrtarastra asked Krishna why he was born blind, and Krishna showed him his past 100 births. For 99 births he was an ideal king, but in the previous birth he had a skin disease, and the only cure was to prepare an ointment from the bodies of 100 swans.

Instead of worrying about the protection of the swans residing in his kingdom as an ideal king, he ordered the 100 swans killed and the ointment prepared, and his disease was cured and for the rest of his life, he was an ideal king.

For his blindness in not protecting the swans for his own sensual pleasure 100 births ago, he was born blind and the 100 swans took birth as his sons, his sons were all killed, and he lost his kingdom.

We have to give up the idea that we are the victim of something beside our own actions.

Jyotisha: we begin with offering our respect to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the Lord of Categories may he Bless us!! Jai Ganesha Deva !!

My Musings: by Trishula Das

Jyotisha also called Vedic Astrology, and Indian Astrology, it is an ancient science and art. Jyotisha is the astrology of Yoga, Tantra, Ayurveda, Sanskrit, Indian Culture and Indian Philosophy, if one cuts the roots off the tree will die. Jyotisha is the eyes of the Veda's, Upanishads, Puranas and Tantra's...

If one is a sincere student of Yoga, and Tantra it is a must to practice Jyotisha also.. Yoga is not just about physical exercise.. it is a deep study that takes many years of intellectual study before one teaches...

From Various Authors.... and many by Yogi Ananda Saraswathi . You can read more at https://www.facebook.com/yogi.anandasaraswathi

Jyotisha is a holistic sacred healing system, it must be helpful. Jyotisha is a Tantra that is the study of karma and time. A practical mystical tool and practice. It is used to remove obstacles and to undestand who we are in the universe, what will be our dharma, how we will make money, and enjoy this life which hopefully will lead to moksha or freedom, it deals with all aspects of life.

Jyotish was revealed to the Rishi's in order to set the prisoners free not to hold them hostage to their karma's or enslave the individual to what is seen as malific in a chart. It was never meant to be fatalistic. Yes we have fate and free will and there is a remedy for every problem, Grace of God or Goddess is the biggest remedy. There is always hope we always need to try and fight our way.

A Jyotishi is a guide a seer and points the way, a Jyotishi never traps anybody by giving a fatalistic negative reading making people feel hopeless and in despair. The earth is the place of suffering a Jyotishi's gift is to find a solution to bring light to the situation. Thus Jyotish is the science and art of Light.

Jyotish is about understanding the bigger questions a Yogi or Yogini asks, Why am I here?? What is going on and what is next?? How do I proceed?

Jyotish is about understanding Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (phenomenal realm of matter) how it is all woven together? Jyotish is a Tantra a technique.

Jyotish is a sadhana it keeps the mind awake and aware and with the help of Lord Ganesha it helps us categorize life into a workable deeper understanding.
